repto

I have seen better?has it been with a male at all?

I used to let mine out in the backyard and let her go for it.pumice based soils as you should have in rotovegas?

but more foliage on top of the head??

try propagating sand,moistened a bit and use removable see through coffee cups etc in a little cut out flush with the ground,remove ,cover with glapwrap and a rubberband.replace with fresh cups and sand on 3 day cycle .incubate and when they hatch put in the rearing tank and remove the cover or just rip a few holes in it.I found if the sizes were segregated they did better.Watch your breathing around them too,even wear a dust mask as they can give bad allergic reactions and make you crook.thats why I gave up doing them in the end was like having the flu fulltime.

I always use individual containers,covered for each clutch.your second question makes no sense to me,30 degrees is 30 degrees where ever it is? Never used one of that specific type myself but I know the chicken ones from the same company have good reports and results.You could buy 2 still air hovabators for the same money and they are precise enough to hatch any reptile I can think of.up toyou and your needs really,i have hatched countless redears in a hotwater cupboard but would not risk anything rare or valuable.

fan?

if the machine has humidity control and you know the parameters you want(you should)then adjust machine/method accordingly.I see no reason why "they should dry out the eggs"???

use your ears,you can hear frogs croaking a fair way at night.Torch at night is a good way to get them.Bethell`s beach was a good place to get them when i was a kid,just follow up the creek that runs down to the sea.Mind you back then western springs was also a good place to get frogs and taddies??

snails are bluetongue lollies,my beardies never been much into them?

??

if you get the eggs out as soon as they are layed you can juggle them and they will still hatch.after the egg contents have settled out,say overnight,they have to stay exactly as you find them.

all depends on the size of your mouth

look mure like cicadas than huhus?

don`t look up you two,never know what might be going over your heads??? :sml1:

what?no wonder I have not seen him post lately??must send a card or flowers to his mum???

sell the baby,you should get good money for it?

interesting,their siblings just had their first feed on the weekend after doing much the same behaviour for a few weeks,the adults have been eating for 2-3 weeks although still slugish in the mornings,we had not had much in the way of warm spring showers that they love,and seem to be more active after these,maybe on the hunt for slugs etc?

can`t help you on that other than the philosophy I use...you can`t put a price on your hobby!!

might pay to give it a bit of peroxide treatment?have to dig my book out and see what it says.

better not tell that to the ones that hatched naturally and walked 20 or so metres through long grass to my unheated ,outdoor fishpond where they have lived ever since?or the eggs I never realised had been layed untill they emerged from their unheated nest the following spring?

they my friend are stuffed and look like they always were?(infertile)better luck next time.

you can easily candle them with a smaall penlight torch etc.I would be separating them into individual containers if you have room and reduce the moisture level slightly.Nevr had a problem with beardy eggs but have done and solved the problem as above with turtle and boxie eggs.A bit hard to say without seeing your setup/method but its just something you pickup through experience.

just put them on TM like everyone else,you will have to screen out the auckland buyers

good article LA.Surprised that they did not mention the three toed box as the most common terrapene species?
